It turbos to 4.7GHz on stock. Whenever the CPU demands more power, it will go up to 4.7GHz automatically, and won't go to 4.7GHz if it doesn't need to.

It will go to 4.7 by itself.  With a good cooler it will go to 4.7 on multiple cores and stay there under load.  With an OC you can go past 4.7 on all cores.

Without OC and without special options in BIOS, intel speeds are:

 

1 core: 4.7 GHz
2 cores: 4.6 GHz
3 corfes: 4.5 GHz
4 cores: 4.4 GHz
5 cores: 4.4 GHz
6 cores: 4.3 GHz

 

So it depends how many cores system/program uses at the moment.
